[sdiy] just quantization: intervals only

[harrybissell]

Old CV keyboards could (in theory) do this by changing the
current through the keyboard resistor string.  I used to do it
with a modified PAiA 2720.

OTOH I found it pretty uninteresting to make the intervals larger than
a semitone. More useful is to make more notes per octave. This allows
microtones, ie you could do a perfect fifth ~or~ a (slightly) flat fifth.

Plan on about twenty years getting used to playing on it :^P
